Hackers are exploiting Gbase

There are also ways for hackers to use Google's database dubbed as Google Base. Time for Google to wake up....maybe.

Google...too big?

I wonder if Google has become too big and pervasive on the Net and now poses a danger. You can't search anything on Google any more without getting a ton of 'google-spam' sites (which get money from advertsing clicks) instead of the information that you want. Some sites actually spoof their URL to make it look like your search string...so you get 'http://www.1963 MGB Convertable.com' which is actually a catch all for dozens of Google sponsored ads having nothing to do with your search term.

Google is getting too big and pushy. It thinks it can do anything and maybe its time to shut them down.

Best advertising they can get

You just know that after this story broke their traffic probably doubled :-)
